Hubbub

Hubbub is a charity that creates environmental campaigns with a difference. We're positive and design playful campaigns that inspire people to make healthier, greener lifestyle choices, which more often than not help save money and bring people together.

We concentrate on things people are passionate about and are relevant day-to-day, like fashion, food, homes and neighbourhoods. We keep things simple, offering practical and realistic solutions that help people to cut waste, make clothes last longer, save money and create cleaner spaces to live and work in.

We’re a small experienced team of doers. We have a diverse mix of backgrounds but all share curiosity and a desire to create change, you can read more about the team here.

Collaboration is central to our approach. We listen, co-design and are inclusive working at all levels, from grass roots to the boardroom. We’re purposeful with clear charitable objectives. We base our campaigns on research and insights from across the UK and the world, and measure everything we do so we know what delivers a tangible, positive impact.

We’re constantly experimenting, learning and evolving. We share results and open source our approaches so others can amplify impact. Our hope is that we create the spark and provide tools for people to do things differently so others can latch on to successful campaigns that can go on to have a life of their own.

UKSSD friend Carolina Karlstrom has set up a thriving Meetup group called the SDGs Network. Their next meeting looks to explore sustainable spaces with speakers from The Edible Bus Stop and Meanwhile Space.

We were overwhelmed by our partners response to our request for new representation on our steering group and are pleased to announce the appointment of six new members. Between them they bring a mix of skills and expertise to strengthen the capacity of our existing group.

In the first week of June we joined our partners Impact International for their annual event, Learnfest. Emily Auckland reflects on what she learnt at this one-of-a-kind event on the shores of Lake Windermere.

The UK is so unequal that the richest 1,000 people have amassed as much wealth as the poorest 40 per cent of the population put together. In this blog Lucy Shaddock from The Equality Trust explores the inclusion of inequality in the Sustainable Development Goals and the Governments response.

There is much to be welcomed in the government’s first attempt at outlining a UK response to the Sustainable Development Goals at home and abroad. Dr Graham Long explores what’s good, and what’s missing, on behalf of UKSSD.
